Woman, 34, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after couple attacked in home

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a brutal attack on a man and a woman in a quiet Worcester suburb. Emergency services rushed to a property on Talavera Road, Norton, after residents reported hearing screams on Saturday night (June 22).

The victims were found with severe injuries and immediately taken to hospital. A 34-year-old woman, who was at the scene, was subsequently arrested. Residents of the affluent neighbourhood, where properties can sell for up to £400,000, expressed their shock at the violent incident, with one describing seeing blood on the driveway. One local said: "I was watching the Euros when I saw all these vehicles rushing past."

"One police car came whizzing by, then an unmarked police car, then a police van, and then an ambulance." another resident, out walking her dog the next morning, noticed a police cordon around the house.

She said: "I was unaware of what had happened the night before, but I saw police tape around the front of the house early on Sunday during my walk. There was dried blood on the driveway, and one police car parked outside still."

A neighbour living close to the crime scene said: "Another of my neighbours was having a party, but I could still hear the shouting nearby." West Mercia Police have confirmed that the woman has since been released on bail.

A spokesperson added: "We received a call around 9.20pm on Saturday evening with a report of an assault at a property on Talavera Road in Norton, Worcestershire. Officers attended the incident and a woman, aged 34, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."

"She is currently on bail whilst enquiries continue. Additionally, West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed their response to the emergency at the same address.

Their statement read: "Two ambulances and the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car from Strensham were sent to the scene where, on arrival, crews discovered two patients: a man and a woman. They were both treated for serious injuries and taken to hospital."
